DALLAS - He`s probably best known for his radio show called "The Local Ticket" on Sportsradio 1310/96.7 FM The Ticket. But it`s not sports that you`ll hear. It`s new music, by local artists. And if you want the scoop on the next big act to come out of DFW remember the name Mark Schectman.

"It`s the most fun I`ve had in the radio so far. I've always been a P1, even before I was working on The Ticket, and getting the opportunity to do exactly the show that I want to do and the show that I love on that station is such a huge honor," says Schectman, during a recent drive in Dallas with Newsfix.

"There's just a long history of this specialty-type of programming, which is kind of what it's referred to as in this city."
